Pregnancy Brain is killing me!

My boss was pregnant last year, and claimed the reason for her horrible memory was pregnancy brain. Me, having a 'super memory' especially for work info, didn't buy it. I really thought it was made up!Oh how wrong I was!! I can't remember anything! Today I had to send in copies of my pay stubs, so I made copies and sent the originals! Ugh. It says 'DO NOT SEND ORIGINALS' hopefully they send them back and let me send in copies. Lol... So I'll never not believe the pregnancy brain thing again! I do something 'dumb' like this at least once a day :/

If it makes you feel any better, I had an appointment with our tax guy on Friday. He is super busy and it is so hard to get an appointment with him. Well, my husband complied all of the w-2s and everything else I would need to take since he couldn't make it with me. He also emailed me a copy of out social security cards and our daughter's birth certificate since she was born in 2010 and that way I had everything together and couldn't possibly lose anything important (since he knows about preggo fog). He couldnt have made it any easier! Well, when I got to our appointment with DD, I started filling out forms while Stella played with the toys they has out for kids when the guy said, "alright, Matt sent me a copy of all of your ID documents. Ill just need your w-2s and investment forms." Aaaaaaaannnnndddd that is when I realized that I forgot the entire folder of everything I would need for our taxes! What the heck was I thinking? I was so humiliated! Luckily, his wife recently had a baby so he laughed and blamed it on mommy brain fog for me. I wanted to cry but that would have just been too much preggo!

What happened to the put together, take on the world, super organized, college educated, woman-on-the-go that I used to be? Now I'm a frumpy (preggo style), dum dum who naps whenever my infant naps! I've been pregnant or nursing for close to two years now and my baby factory status is seriously getting in the way of my strong, independent woman status. Funny thing is, I'd never even consider going back!

Anyone else feel like that?
